Amid reports that the Rockets are considering trading for Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook, plenty of Houston's faithful are doing some soul-searching.
Rockets fans have long had gripes with Harden's former Oklahoma City teammate, harking back to the eight-time All-Star's heated rivalry with beloved former Rocket Patrick Beverley.
That feeling only grew stronger after a much-debated 2017 MVP race saw Westbrook, who broke Oscar Robertson's record for most triple-doubles in a season, take home the hardware over Harden. The Rockets got the last laugh though, easily beating the Thunder in the playoffs in five games.
